TORONTO, June 24, 2010 Golf Canada, in
partnership with title sponsor RBC, announced today the confirmed
celebrity and PGA TOUR professional field that will participate
in the 2010 Mike Weir Charity Classic. The second annual event
will kick off tournament week of the RBC Canadian Open on
Monday, July 19th at the historic St. George's Golf and Country
Club in Toronto, with net proceeds benefiting The Mike Weir
Foundation.

"I'm thrilled so many friends have agreed to come out
and support my charity again this year," said Mike Weir.
"I'm grateful for the time these players and celebrities
have taken out of their busy lives to come and support my
Foundation. Thanks to RBC and Golf Canada for helping realize
my vision to raise more awareness and support for the various
children's programs we fund."

In 2008, RBC, in partnership with Golf Canada, made a philanthropic
commitment to raise $5 million for children's wellness initiatives
over the five year term of RBC's title sponsorship of the
RBC Canadian Open.

"RBC believes in giving back to the communities where
we live and work and the Mike Weir Charity Classic enables
us to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for golf fans
and clients while making a meaningful investment to the local
community through our charity partner, the Mike Weir Foundation,"
said Jim Little, Chief Brand and Communications Officer, RBC.

"We are extremely proud to welcome the second annual
Mike Weir Charity Classic to tournament week of the RBC Canadian
Open," said Scott Simmons, Golf Canada Executive Director
and CEO. "Not only does the Charity Classic strengthen
the philanthropic element of Canada's national Open championship,
but also the tremendous athletes and celebrity talent confirmed
for this year's event will once again elevate the level of
spectator excitement around this year's Open at St. George's."
